Calls for the Broward sheriff to resign intensify. The vocal sheriff who has criticized everyone from local politicians to the NRA to one of his own officers in the wake of the Florida high school shooting is facing the pressure himself Monday, as calls mount for him to resign amid reports about his department’s alleged incompetence in stopping the gunman.
The heat against Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel is coming from all angles, including from a survivor of the attack who told Fox News that he “failed to act on so many different levels” and from dozens of state lawmakers who are urging Florida Gov. Rick Scott to suspend him.
“Listen, if ifs and buts were candy and nuts, O.J. Simpson would still be in the record books,” was Israel's bizarre defense Sunday after being asked by CNN’s Jake Tapper if the shooting might not have happened if his department handled things differently.
The comment came following disputed reports that three of Israel’s officers refused to enter Marjory Douglas Stoneman High School as Nikolas Cruz was killing 17 people in the Valentine’s Day rampage.
A deputy in charge of protecting the school, Scot Peterson, resigned Thursday after it emerged he himself failed to go into the building, taking shelter behind a concrete column for four minutes as the 19-year-old gunned down anyone in his path. And the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, in addition to the FBI, is continuing to face questions Monday as to why they didn’t do more when multiple people sounded the alarm about the gunman’s erratic behavior.

Great post!
We have a Mount Everest of Evidence against Hillary’s(Sorry Sir Edmund) corruption and NOTHING is done.
No evidence of Trump other than winning the people’s vote to be our 45 president and it is 24/7 365 Russia, Russia, Russia...
Disgusting!!
Actually, the first clue is his arrogant demeanor.
The second clue is the company he keeps (DSW. Hillary)
Hogg is an odd little piglet. Not sure -who sent him or if he’s a self-made drama queen.
But the idiot Rick Scott is NOT attacking “Sheriff” Israel.
*******************
The other night …… Sheriff Scott srael to Dana Loesch:
“You just told this group of people that you are standing up for them. You’re not standing up for them until you say, “I want less weapons.””
This statement, though meaningless, was of course intended to be an applause line
This statement by Israel was not only meaningless, it proves Sheriff Israel is semi-illiterate. I’m sure if he knew how to speak English he would have said, “fewer weapons”.
The guy spends too much time blowing his own horn.
He’s an arrogant fool.
Governor can remove him.
Governor can remove.
.
Clapton’s original do of it was way better!
.
He was a low performing special eduction student with autism, depression, and a host of other severe disorders.
According to his extended family, neighbors, school mates, host families, and an ex-girlfriend these things had happened.
He held a rifle to both his mother’s and his brother’s heads.
He repeated hit his mother, his brother and his ex-gf and others.
He assaulted kids at school and was kicked out finally.
He threw chairs at students and teachers.
He destroyed furniture around his own home.
He threw rocks at his neighbor’s moving car.
he brought and sold knives at the school cafeteria.
He threatened specifically his ex-gf and her parents w bodily harm.
He threatened his host mom and her son in Palm Beach.
He threatened specific classmates as well as the entire school.
And there’s voyeurism, destruction of private property, animal abuse, etc.
The buck stops with Sheriff Israel & Superintendent Runcie for ushering in a ‘Sanctuary’ policy that curtailed discipline and arrest of juvenile delinquents. He belonged confined in a reform school for the criminally unfit who pose a clear danger to society.
But Nikolas Cruz was honest and had a goal. He broadcast repeatedly his plans to shoot up his school and he completed his goal.
Bob Marley's original version was way better.
.
Actually a professional did the shooting, not Cruz. He was just there to take the blame, and pump his ego.
.
.
Probably, but I don’t even remember it.
.
My point is that all the hellfire is directed at the Sheriff, and to a limited extent the fbi, when none is aimed at the other people (with the exception of one guard) who should have direct involvement in the situation.
It’s a curious thing as to why, and I’m sure the answer is a disturbing one.
He’s a democrat. Plain and simple as that. They’ll have to take him out of his position kicking and screaming.
Go back and read about the Sheriff. This is his own doing.
1. He made the rules and signed them personally with the county school board to not enforce discipline or arrest juveniles for their crimes.
2. His deputies screwed up dealing with Cruz and they are his responsibility.
3. His deputies failed to react to known lethal threats that were sent to BSO.
4. His SRD did not apprehend Cruz when he had the chance.
5. His SRD failed to engage Cruz and fire upon him once it began.
6. His three deputies arrived and idled outside, failing to engage the shooter or provide triage to lots of people who were dying.
7. He is not accepting responsibility and instead accepted congratulations knowing that his men had not impeded Cruz’s murdering rampage in any way.
What did the BSO do right in dealing with Nikolas Cruz? name one thing.
If ANYONE runs against him, they will win.
This is an opportunity for a pro-2A sheriff down there.
Pray your right. That POS then needs to be defending hisself in civil court for the rest of his sick sad life ....... maybe a day trip to the everglades.
We should never underestimate the tenacity of the communists and evil democrat among us.
This guy isn’t going anywhere, unless Scott has him removed.
Was hoping Trump would emulate Pinochet, but so far it’s a bust.
The water in the swamp remains high.
I would say it is because they are under investigation “”and still employed”” versus the POS that resigned / retired who could be identified after he was no longer employed or was already identified by presstitutes or his own union trying to defend him ...... departments I worked for will not release internal investigation info till either prosecuted or terminated from employment ..... That SOP allows bad cops cover sadly with the policy but good cops aka innocent of charges don’t get tried by public opinion.
Only my opinion experience observed .....
israel is a short, pompous, libtard jackass who was awarded power far above his merit or ability. As a young student, the sheriff probably had a lot in common with pencil necked Hogg.
Choice 3: Command and control was completely ineffective and issued NO orders.
